Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

You tend to get two groups who dislike it. Ignorant folks who think something like no animal stuff means no protein means you shrivel up and die, and the ones who’ve encountered a few too many militants in their time and ain’t interested or are downright sick of their schtick. Vaguely similar to atheism, except replace the animal product stuff with something religion related, ofc.

Except you don’t see atheists throwing a tantrum. So not like atheism at all.

if you think internet atheists can’t be just as obnoxious as internet vegans you clearly haven’t been around enough of them.

Speaking as an aethist, can confirm.

The common denominator is the internet part though. The last obnoxious atheist I saw was 14, and I have yet to see an obnoxious vegan IRL

To be pendantic, the vocal atheists are more specifically antitheists as in they are opposed to theism, not just someone who doesn’t believe.

Give me one example.

Don’t remember when /r/atheism was a default on the other site?

Get real. Every single group that lives outside the heteronormative, christian nationalist banner has fit-throwers. Saying that there aren’t those atheists but certainly are those vegans is as dumb as any other half-baked argument out there.

Can you name any atheist protests?

Every action by the Satanic Temple?
Though they are kind of amusing trolls about it.

Opposition to religious monuments on public grounds. They are low key and the only violence, vandalism, or public disturbances come from religious folks.

Can you name a “vegan” protest?

You make it sounds like the heteronormative, christian nationalist s don’t throw fits all the time.

Why has heteronormative become an insult?
Behole@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
How do I make it sound like that. All they do is cry and moan! They are the absolute worst of the fit-throwers. But way to dig deep into my comment for a complete nothing burger.

That’s ALL they do. I say this as an atheist that avoids atheism on the internet like it’s a disease.
